The last post...

I think the idea of writer in a blog is a great experience because we can write about our personal stories, our personal likes and dislikes and other topics like favorite books, food, music, etc. the possibility of to write about personal think to create significant learning.  

I like to write in a blog but something the topics was very boring and it was more difficult for me because I couldn`t think of anything! For example when I wrote about an important character of my career. It was very boring!! The topics I more liked to write were my favorite music, favorite books and a picture special for me.  

I think the blog help me for improve my English because meantime I wrote I can remember the logic structure needed for write in English. Although it wasn`t perfect! I need to learn more about the logic structure for to write in English correctly. I would like to know how to used conditional verbs like “must”, “would”, “Could”, etc. And I can to increase my vocabulary when I used the dictionary online “word reference”.  

The bad of the blog is I haven`t a feedback of my weakness or fortitude and my progress… if I had progress… always I read the comments of my classmate and the teacher but isn`t enough say “Let's talk next class about some mistakes…” because I don`t really know my mistakes.

A good thing was I can know the personal likes and dislikes and few things about the personal stories of my classmates. Something it was very interesting and funny.

○◘• My favorite book is...•◘○

The last book I read was in the summer and it was the best book I read in my life! The book called “La Sombra del Viento” wrote by Carlos Ruiz Zafón it was publish in 2002 but the book arrived to Chile in 2008.

“La Sombra del Viento” is an excellent historical novel to has intrigue, thriller, comedy and a tragic story of love. The novel intertwining the plot and something mysteries in an exciting story about the secret of the heart and the magic of the books.

The story start with Daniel Sempere, he is a child of five years old and with his father went to the “cemetery of books forgotten”.  In that place the Daniel`s father did say to Daniel must choose one book, reading it and to look after forever. The problem start when Daniel discovered a prohibited book called “La Sombra del Viento” wrote by Julian Carax.  Julian Carax disappears in the war of Spain and nobody knows what happened with him. Daniel beginning to investigate like a detective why the books wrote by Julian Carax is burnt and who person is burnt all the books of Julian Carax.

The story of love starts when Daniel knows a woman ten years older than him when he is investigating about Julian Carax in the house of a collector of books.  

While I read the book I can know the life of Barcelona in the period of the Industrial revolution until the years after of the Civil war of Spain.  

Now the novel is a best seller translation to 36 different languages.

I can read the book because I registered in the library “bibliometro” and I had to waiting for the book one month! But the wait was worth it.   

I love the novel! Now I waiting for the winter vacation for read other books wrote by Carlos Ruiz Zafon for example:

- El Juego del Angel.

- El principe de la Niebla.

•◘○ A Picture special for me...○◘•

One of the pictures more special for me...

I think that the cameras are a brilliant invention because with the camera we can register a special, funny and significant moment and remember it forever.  

I love a lot of picture that it is in my facebook because there remember me important moments in my life. For example I love the picture I took with my boyfriend in the last summer vacations, the pictures about my graduation and the pictures in holidays like Christmas, New Year, etc.

But today I going to write something about a picture that I love so much!  I love that picture because remember me my first presentation of belly dance. The presentation was in June of 2010 in the auditorium of the faculty of arts, it is located in the campus Juan Gomez Millas.

I can dance because I went to the workshop of belly dance with the teacher Claudia Escobar in the campus JGM too.  Claudia Escobar is the teacher of fitness dance, aerobic and pilates too.

I danced in a group with six girls and we were in an initial level of dancing. It was the first time that we dancing belly dance in a workshop.

Before to the presentation we are very nervous and eager and when we are dancing on the stage, it seemed that the time was happening very slowly but then to dance we like to dancing again!!   

Now I can go to the workshop of belly dance because my subjects are in the same time that the workshop but… the teacher Claudia invited me to participate in the next presentation. It will be in June, the place is not clearly still.

I hope to dance Belly Dance again!!

•◘○ One of the best days of my life was... ○◘•

I think that is very difficult for me decide for the best day of my life because I remember anything that for me was very important, special and significant. So I think in one of the best days of my life, it was in October of 2009.

October 12th of 2009 I went to an activity called “EJE” because my friend Faby invited me to participate.  The meeting “EJE” took all the weekend and I did know a lot of people in the funny activities. To life the meeting “EJE is a big and only experience and you can feel a lot of feeling like sadness, happiness, emotion, surprise, anxiety, etc.

But the best of that weekend was I can meet to my boyfriend. He was working like one of the leader of “EJE” and he was the leader of my group. I liked from the first time that I looked him and he felt the same that me.

When the meeting “EJE” end, the next weekend I met with the people that went to life “EJE” and with the people that worked like leaders, monitors, coordinators, etc. so I can looked the leader of my group again.

Then he invited me to the cinema and our story of love to start officially in October 26^th in secret…  

Now we have one year and half together and our relationship is not secret. We are very happiness and in love.

•◘○ The MP4 ○◘•

My favourite pieces of technology are the computer, the mobile phone and the MP4 because those are very useful in my daily life. In the computer I can do a lot of activities like my homeworks, playing, surf the internet, chat in msn or facebook, etc.   

I love my mobile phone because it has a plan of Claro Company called “pack Uni2”. I need to talk with my boyfriend because he is far of me and that mobile plan is very economic.

The MP4 is other piece of technology I like so much! The first time I had an MP4 was in my first year in the University of Chile, my MP4 was a gift of Christmas. A day when I was traveling in the subway in the connection of Vicente Valdes station a stupid thief stole my MP4. I was very sad and angry.

The next year my mother bought a new MP4 but it was secondhand. It not important me really much because I need an MP4 soon. I like it because I love listen cheerful music for to wake in the morning.     

I use it always when I`m traveling to the University in the morning and in the travel go back home. I prefer listen my cheerful music that the strong noise of the streets!  

Transport my music to all over the places is the best!

Bahamas: the Caribbean paradise

I would like to go to Bahamas, Brasil, Isla de Pascua, Cancun, México, etc. I would like know many beuatiful places, but first I would like to go to Bahamas because is a tropical place with many turistic atractives and funny activities.

Bahamas is located in Central American next to Cuba. It is an archipelago with 30 islands, 700 islets and 2000 coral reef. The principal economic activitie of Bahamas is the turism and the fishing.

The Bahamas`s story is very interesting because Cristobal Colon arrive to Salvador`s island, it is in the south of Bahamas. Is very interesting to know that the island of Bahamas was the hideout for pirates, they had their treasures in caves.

 

All the islands are not populated so you can visit: Andros, Exuma, Nassau, Bimini and Grand Bahama. Nassau celebrating the “Junkanoo”, it is a very important carnival or traditional parade, to prevail the African music, the dancing and the art. The carnival is celebrating in holidays like Christmas, New Year day and Emancipation or “Kadooment” Day.

Important touristic atractives and something activities are the beautiful beachs, the most big acuatic park, the museum of pirates, the zoo, the sunset, and the night life!! Dinners in luxurious restaurantes (is necesary to eat the tipical food: fish and lobster), go to the casino and partys in the beach!

Then to go to the beach, swimming with dolphin, you rode horse, you visited the museum, knowing the pirates`s story, you went to the zoo, etc. You can to relax in the hotel or go to the night party!

Travel to Bahamas is a big dream for me. The problem is the money, that’s a big problem! A ticket to Bahamas it’s very expensive and lives in Bahamas is expensive too. But I hope to travel some day to this place, maybe in my honeymoon...

When I`m sad...

Is very rare that I`m sad, frecuently I am happy!!

But when I`m sad I hardlyever listen to romantic music because it is more sad! It as “cut one's wrists”... I don`t like feeling sad and I trying to do something for not feeling me sad. So listen to cheerful music is a possibility. 

I prefer listen to onfire music for example: Reggaeton, Electroflow, Romantiqueo, Bachata, Merengue, Cumbia, electronic and pachanga music. This is the kind of music that helps me to cheer up. I love that music because I love dancing!

The reggaeton is a musical kind from the “reggae”, the “dancehall” and the “hip hop” and now it has influences from electronic music. It is a big musical kind to update in Puerto Rico in 1990.

At the begining it was an underground music but now is a principal music more listening in Latin America. The topics of the lirics are about reflexion, love story, social criticism, anecdotes and sex.

Is a music very hot and sexy...  

I like singers as Daddy Yankee, Arcangel, Tito el Bambino, Wisin y Yandel, Don Omar, etc.

The bachata music has love story with ends sad or happy but the song is music you can dance to. I love Aventura!! They were in the Viña del Mar`s Festival.

When I`m sad I prefer meeting with my friends or boyfrind and go to dancing in a disco!!

Maria Montessori

(Chiaravalle, 1870 - Noordwjek, 1952).

Bachelor in medicine in the University of Roma in 1896, she studied the mentally handicapped children, called “psychopaths children”. And she understood that the problem with the children isn`t mentally problems, they had pedagogic problems. And she exhibits her ideas in the pedagogic congress in Turin.   

In 1898 she gave a course about the education for mentally handicapped problems in the children. Later the course converted in a School by the capacitating for all the teacher of Roma.

She was convinces that the education of the children was support in a scientific knowing and psychology topics.

The Dei Beni Stabili institute of Roma entrusted she the creations of the first children`s house. Of here, her ideas about an elementary education expanded for Roma, Italia and the entire world.

Maria Montessori developed a particular pedagogic method, it called Montessori Method and it was use in Italian elementary school. The method was about the promoting of the initiative and the capacity of response to using an especial didactic material.

The principal idea was the children could learn by them initiative and them own time.

Finally, Maria Montessori wrote her ideas in a book called “metodo della pedagogia scientifica applicato all'autoeducazione infantile nella Casa dei bambini “, in 1909.

I like she because was an important person in the education area. She was the first person who proposed a method developing specially for children.

The last movie that I saw in the summer was “Tangled”. It`s a classic film of Walt Disney Animation Studios about an epic, romantic and musical comedy.

The story is about a princess called “Rapunzel” and a handsome burglar called Flynn Rider. The movie begins when Rapunzel was a baby and she is kidnapped by Gothel because her long and golden hair to has the power of eternal youth.

Rapunzel is 17, she likes painting and she hopes to go out of her big tower to know the floating lights that Rapunzel can see only the same day of her birthday.

Flynn Rider and other burglars go to the castle and they stole the crown of Rapunzel. In the escape, Flynn Rider betrays them and found Rapunzel. Now the adventure begins...

* The dubbing of the characters was:

Rapunzel: Carmen Lopez.

Flynn Rider: Javier Lorca.

I love this movie because is very fun and to has romance.
